Some committee or task force positions are not filled by election. Also, occasionally elected positions open up unexpectedly and need to be filled by appointment of the WSSDA board's president. WSSDA members can signal their desire to serve on one of these bodies by filling out a member interest form. Visit our committees page to learn more.
